Chapter 589: Osaka Raiders
Coming out of the TV station, the saury got into Zhou Xiao's car and went to the airport together. In fact, from Tokyo to Osaka, you don't need to take a plane in Japan at all, you can get there in more than two hours by taking the Shinkansen, there are delicious bento boxes in the car, and it is no problem to sit on the highest level with these two people, even if you don't take the Shinkansen, you can go by car and you don't need them to drive at all, with the urbanization process of Japan, you will find that you don't see any wild scenery on the road at all, all the way to the city buildings of the city building, and you will arrive in Osaka.
But at Zhou Xiao's invitation, the old man saury specifically said that he wanted to take Zhou Xiao's plane, so he specially applied for a landing runway with the airports in Tokyo and Osaka.
Not to mention that the plane takes off and lands once, the price of a short-distance flight is already very high in order to transport two people, just to apply for the right to use two runways once, the price is enough for Zhou Xiao and a few other people to come and go back and forth a few times and take the Shinkansen dozens of times.
With such a money-burning way of moving, I am afraid that Zhou Xiao dares to do it among the artists in Japan and has the conditions to do it.
Taking the saury on the plane, Zhou Xiao felt like taking a child on the plane, during the whole flight, he only sat there when he took off and landed, and at other times, this 55-year-old, rushing to the elderly, and now he can barely be regarded as a middle-aged uncle, touched and looked, and even ran to the cab to talk to the driver (the original name of the saury), no, it was the pilot who chatted, not only chatted, but also made the pilot laugh, but fortunately, the plane when flying smoothly was in the state of autopilot, Otherwise, Zhou Xiao estimated that the pilot was chatting with the saury while driving the plane, and the plane was not flying like a drunk driver.
It's good to talk about pulling the saury back from the cockpit, and this person even started the idea of a flight attendant on the plane again.
Zhou Xiao's private jet also has a fixed pilot and flight attendant, but most of the time.
Zhou Xiao's flight only occupies a small part of the entire use of the plane, and the vast majority of the remaining aircraft is leased to various other famous and wealthy people in Japan.
But it has not yet reached the celebrity use of Zhou Xiaocheng dΓΉ, this kind of private jet stewardess that exclusively serves the rich.
Na Su zhì is definitely one top one, in terms of appearance and figure, if you put it in AKB, you may be able to beat 80% of the members, as an old playboy, it is understandable that you will be interested in beautiful flight attendants.
And the flight attendants will never hate the saury, in addition to being too old and not being handsome, the character and value of the saury.
Definitely a good person to date.
"Zhou Xiao, these flight attendants...... Have you ever taken it home? β
On the way back from the cab with Zhou Xiao pulling the saury, the saury asked.
"Nope! What am I going to do when I take them home! β
Zhou Xiao said angrily.
"Also, you have a whole idol group under your hands, at first glance, I like the type of young idol pure department, uncle, I'm older, I start to like the type that has a better body, and even a little chubby."
The saury said with his buckteeth covered.
To be honest, at this age.
It's almost the same as Zhou Xiao's father, talking to him about women, but it doesn't give Zhou Xiao the feeling that he is talking to his father about women.
In fact, this is normal, because he himself is a woman who can talk about women on prime-time variety shows, and even talk about his ex-wife's existence, in Zhou Xiao's memory, which grew up in Japan, it can almost be said that he grew up watching him talk about his love history.
The time to fly from Tokyo to Osaka is very short, talk to the pilot, talk to the flight attendant, and in about an hour, the two of them have arrived in Osaka.
Get out of the airport in Osaka and get on the bus.
Zhou Xiao and the others went straight to Osaki Yang's home.
Although you are the president of Yoshimoto Kogye, Osaki's home is not one of those super gorgeous villas that occupy a huge area.
In fact, even Zhou Xiao.
It is also impossible to build a super villa in a super city like Tokyo Osaka, one is too public, and it is not necessary, with the low price in Tokyo Osaka City, the price of your money to buy land and build villas is very different when it is not so hot or in a special rich villa gathering area, so Zhou Xiao will go around to buy a number of luxury apartments, the price of this kind of apartment, basically you buy ten luxury apartments may be comparable to half of the investment of super villas.
Osaki Yang's home in Osaka City is just a small building with a three-story detached courtyard, and the yard is not large, Zhou Xiao estimates that the price of such a building will definitely not exceed 200 million yen.
In terms of Osaki's worth, if he makes really clean money, it is not boring, and then contact his age, it is estimated that the loan has just been repaid in recent years.
The two got out of the car and knocked on the door, and soon Osaki's daughter came and opened the door, and the two walked in.
"Zhou Xiao! Welcome. β
After entering the door, Osaki Yang greeted him, looking like he had been waiting for Zhou Xiao for a long time.
"Mr. Osaki, I've taken the liberty of visiting and I'm causing you trouble!"
Zhou Xiao said humbly.
"What a presumptuousness, I wish you could come, you don't know, my daughter has been your avid fan for many years, and she watched your concert back then! I have long wanted me to use my work to call you to meet her privately, I am worried that you are busy with work, so I have not been embarrassed to tell you, not a few days ago, I heard that you contacted me, this girl excitedly hugged me and kissed me several times! I haven't been kissed like this since she was eight years old! β
Osaki Yang said with a kind face and a high feeling.
"Seen me in concert!? That's a big fan of mine! β
Zhou Xiao sighed, his experience of holding a concert back then was such a small tour, and he who liked him since then was definitely super hardcore.
In private, Osaki Yang is simply kind and not like the head of a super entertainment company, plus the saury gags on the side, this private meeting has a good relationship, and in the end, Zhou Xiao not only had a meal at Osaki Yang's house, but even chatted with Osaki Hiroshi's daughter and took a few photos.
But when I saw him again the next day, Osaki's momentum had changed.
Yesterday, the kind middle-aged father disappeared, and now in front of Zhou Xiao is Osaki Yang who works in the company, half a head of white hair, and Osaki Yang who is Yan sΓΉ up reminds Zhou Xiao of Kagawa Teruyuki, these two really look very similar.
Teruyuki Kagawa has played quite a few Yan sΓΉ roles, such as Owada Tsunashi in "Hanzawa Naoki", but if you know his image in private.
Even if you just watch his variety show, you will know that this is a very interesting and witty man.
It's just that I don't know this two-sided character embodied in Osaki Yang, is the strict sΓΉ of the company true, or is the kind one at home real?
"Zhou Xiao, you should be running NMB48 when you came to Osaka, right? But...... Aren't we settled on this? β
Osaki asked first, his question was actually yesterday, but everyone didn't talk about work last night, so she asked it today.
"Of course, you don't need to bother with the affairs of NMB, I'm here this time. In fact, the main purpose is not only this. β
Zhou Xiao replied.
"Oh?"
Osaki raised his eyebrows: "Then what are you?" β
"I wonder if Mr. Osaki and Yoshimoto are interested in the Chinese entertainment industry?"
Zhou Xiao asked.
"China!?"
Osaki Yang's face finally came down.
"China...... We can't do it......"
For the first time, Osaki Yoshi, who was extremely popular, showed his weakness for the first time, or rather not to show weakness, but to show an expression on his face that he really couldn't help it.
Looking at his expression, Zhou Xiao nodded and said, "It seems that Yoshimoto Xingye has not studied the Chinese entertainment industry, right?" β
Osaki said with some disappointment: "Yes, we tried to enter the Chinese market four or five years ago, but ...... Not to mention China, as far as Taiwan, where Japanese culture is more popular, it is difficult for Yoshimoto's forces to enter. β
"Reason or something. You know that, right? β
Zhou Xiao said.
"It's not because of the language!"
Osaki said with some tears and laughter.
Zhou Xiao also laughed.
In the Japanese entertainment industry, Yoshimoto Kogyo is actually quite interested in the Chinese entertainment industry.
To say that in the Japanese entertainment industry, it can be divided into three main forces.
TV and movie power, music power and entertainment and comedy power.
Among them, TV movies should be regarded as trying to enter China very early, and they were also the first to be accepted by the Chinese.
In recent years, with the changes in Sino-Japanese relations, especially China and South Korea are getting closer and closer, the Japanese side is willing to sell to China for free, but now it needs far higher prices than Korean dramas to enter China.
In terms of music, Japanese music in Ayumi Hamasaki's time actually had a lot of appeal in China, but it's a pity.
As a country from the best implementation of copyright laws in the world, it has long been accustomed to the genuine market.
Japanese musicians found that the concept of copyright was almost never present in a country across the sea, and the two-state system was becoming more and more severe at the same time.
Japanese music has also gradually withdrawn from the Chinese market.
As for the entertainment and comedy forces represented by Yoshimoto...... It's not that they haven't tried to enter the Chinese market, but unlike the previous two forces, which have at least achieved some results, they have almost always hovered at the gate of China, and they have never even really entered.
As for the reason, as Osaki said, language is a barrier that is difficult to cross.
Music is a form of communication that can ignore language and national boundaries, and the same is true for movies, which can be entertaining and funny, but it has a lot to do with language and culture, and there are many funny "stalks"
If you don't know enough about a country or even a culture, you won't understand it, and this is true in both China and Japan, that is, it's the same for a Japanese person who doesn't know anything about China to listen to Chinese funny works.
For example, let a Japanese come to listen to Guo Degang's cross talk, and heard him say that the pilot drove him to the United States, flew for a while and landed and asked an old man, "Uncle, where is this?" β
The uncle replied in a very strong northeastern accent: "Tieling." β
By this time, the average Chinese had already begun to burst into laughter, but if a Japanese person didn't know anything about Chinese culture, including Chinese geography, even if he could understand every word of Guo Degang, he would not be able to understand where the laughter was.
It's not like Yoshimoto Kogyo hasn't tried it.
Osaki Hiroshi said with a look of chagrin: "Actually, we have tried, Yoshimoto artist has even tried to ask someone to translate his jokes into Chinese and come to China to perform for people, but ...... That attempt failed completely......"
"You should be talking about the time that Jinnai-san and the others took with them, right?"
Zhou Xiao asked.
"yes, you know that?"
Osaki asked.
"I've heard it a little, it seems to be the wisdom of the formation. There are also several artists from Yoshimoto, and even Tetsu Mori Izukawa who went with him. β
Zhou Xiao said.
He heard about it in 2008, saying it was early 2008.
Several Japanese artists went to Chinese mainland to perform, but he did not listen to many specific things in detail.
It was almost completely never broadcast on TV, and now that I think about it, that attempt must have been quite a failure.
"Yes, we wanted to try the mainland market, so we asked these people to prepare carefully, and in order to avoid the influence of language as much as possible, we even went to Tetsuro Izukawa, who was not Yoshimoto Kogyo and was famous for his reaction skills. But among these people, that is, the jokes in the formation won some applause and attention, and other people's works failed. β
Osaki said.
Zhou Xiao nodded and said: "Japanese funny does not mean that it will not be accepted by the Chinese at all, at least as far as I know, there are two groups of artists, which are liked by the Chinese very much and do not need too much Japanese culture to accept, one of them is Zhisan in Jinuchi, and the other is unjash-san." β
"Unjash is okay too?"
Osaki asked.
"yes, some unjash passages that have been translated over there in Taiwan. It is still very popular in the mainland. β
Zhou Xiao nodded.
"So...... Can this path be taken? β
Osaki asked, somewhat incredulous.
"Basically, it doesn't work."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiao shook his head.
"Huh? Why? β
Or do it. If it weren't for me, it wouldn't have worked. β
Zhou Xiao said.
"You?"
"Among the Japanese comedy artists, do you understand Chinese, Chinese culture, and the Chinese entertainment industry?"
Zhou Xiao asked.
Osaki shook his head as a matter of course, people in the relatively high-level entertainment industry are unlikely to set their sights on the lower-level entertainment industry, just as the Chinese entertainment industry doesn't care about which artists are the most popular in Southeast Asia, and the high-level entertainment industry will basically only dump things in the low-level entertainment industry.
On the other hand, there are not many artists who can succeed in the high-level entertainment industry and work hard in the low-level entertainment industry.
"Then you said that China will have a negative impact on the Japanese entertainment industry. Especially the people who are more familiar in the comedy circle? β
Zhou Xiao asked.
"This ...... There must still be some, right? β
Osaki asked.
"Yes, there are some. But the vast majority of these people are rice, and these people ...... Is there anyone who can really speak in the Japanese entertainment industry? β
Zhou Xiao asked.
After listening to Zhou Xiao's words, Osaki Yang suddenly raised his head after thinking for a few seconds, stared at Zhou Xiao tightly with a pair of eyes, and said, "So, Mr. Zhou Xiao, you...... What a blessing! β
Hearing Osaki Yang say this, Zhou Xiao also relaxed himself and let himself lean on the sofa easily, Osaki Yang finally understood what he meant.
"It's ......"
Osaki shook his head and said helplessly: "We originally thought that your talent and talent were already very powerful, but we didn't expect you to have such a useful thing......"
Zhou Xiao also smiled and said: "Yes, the understanding of the Japanese entertainment industry, the understanding of Chinese culture, the influence of the Japanese entertainment industry, the sum of these three things, only I have, you, or Yoshimoto Xingye behind you, as well as those entertainment companies in China, ordinary rice, at most, will only have two of these attributes, only me, can integrate this qiΔ!" β
"When did you come up with this idea?"
Osaki asked.
"From when I first entered the Japanese entertainment industry as a funny artist!"
Zhou Xiaodao.
"2000!?"
Osaki asked.
"That's right!"
Zhou Xiao nodded.
"Amazing, at first we thought you were just a funny artist, and then you became a singer, director, producer, and even the operator of an idol group and an online company, but now we find out that these are not your ultimate goals, your goals...... In China? β
Osaki admired.
"I can't say it all, I still like the Japanese entertainment industry very much, I have been here for ten years, I have long been inseparable from the Japanese entertainment industry, the expectation of Chinese mainland, in fact, can only be regarded as part of my goal, in the next few years and decades, the Japanese entertainment industry is still my main goal, I simply want the Chinese entertainment industry to begin to accept many things in the Japanese entertainment industry."
Zhou Xiao said.
"I'm afraid, there's still a way to accept AZX, right?"
Osaki said.
"Of course, but if you're interested, it's good to take Yoshimoto Kogyo by the way."
Zhou Xiao also smiled.
"But...... So how do you do that? β
Osaki asked, "Due to the limited language, it may be difficult for Japanese comedy artists to develop in China." β
"Of course, Japanese comedy artists can't develop in China, and I know this, I'm afraid that even I, just after returning to the mainland, may not be able to adapt to the entertainment industry there. My idea is very simple, if you really want to become popular in the Chinese entertainment industry, there will always be only Chinese, so what I hope to get is not a certain number of artists from Yoshimoto Xingye, what I hope Yoshimoto can do in China is ......"
Speaking of this, Zhou Xiao paused, and Osaki Yang, who listened carefully to Zhou Xiao's words, trembled when he heard this, and he was also extremely smart, and finally thought of what Zhou Xiao wanted to say.
Then, three letters popped out of their mouths at the same time: "N! sοΌ cοΌ β
